Guesses for January 2024 BOTM?

The phenolic 117 was my Buck of the Year for 2023. It's a really great knife that I use almost daily in the kitchen.

I have a drawer full of various 300 series, or 110/112's etc. For some reason, I don't have a problem getting a second (or third) variation of a pocket knife that I really like. They all make it into rotation eventually. However, I'm not nearly as eager to get a second fixed blade of a favorite model. I have two 104's. One of them gets regular use. The second just sits in the garage.

I'd really love to get this knife, but I don't want to get another garage-sitter. I'll have to think on it some.

As a side note, one of the many things I love about the BOTM program is that I generally have time to think about it.

34 left.

I agree, but it is an easy purchase if you were thinking about purchasing the regular s35vn version, as this BOTM is $20 cheaper (as others have mentioned) for the same s35vn blade. Also, limited to 500. Still, I thought this one would be around for a few days to a week.
 
This was a tough one to resist - purdy, purdy, purdy. The two Stealth runs put a bit dent in my knife buying budget (totally worth it). LOVE the 117 x four including two of the earlier BOTM S35VN Micarta version. I'm thankful the temptation is gone. I'm certain the regret of passing on it will arrive later...

Regret shows up about the same time as some good pictures of the knife.
